For most people, technology is an important part of their lives because they make their tasks easier for them; but, when used in excess, it can cause very serious damage to physical and mental health. A very clear example are the consequences of sleeping with the cell phone.

According to a study published byr Online Psychology Degree , 90% of people, aged between 18 and 29, sleep with the cell phone, which increases the risk of suffering cardiovascular or mental problems such as depression.

Cell phones and quality of life

The analysis details that the addiction to technology reduces the quality of life of people, by reducing sleep hours, reducing coexistence with people and even increasing the risk of accidents.

The research reveals that half of people always check their cell phone before going to sleep, which reduces their quality of sleep, since exposure to the light of these electronic devices for more than two hours reduces the levels of melatonin, hormone responsible for inducing restful sleep.

In as much, one of three people prefers to avoid the intimate contact with its pair to stay connected to the network; 95% of the individuals check their phone before going to sleep and half of it does it to the seconds of waking up.

The continuous contact with technology, especially with cell phones, generates more stress and has problems sleeping, so by reducing sleep hours to less than six per night, the chances of having a heart attack or road accidents increase. labor

Avoid it!

Some decades ago, people could do their activities without cell phones, so you can copy the scheme a bit and use your mobile devices only for the essentials.

With this you will avoid falling asleep at work, have the feeling of exhaustion and improve your quality of life. To prevent your cell phone from waking you up at night, turn off the alerts of all your applications and let the only noise that exists in your room be that of your alarm clock.

When you are ready to go to rest in your room, say good night to the people around you, as well as to your technological devices such as your cell phone. And you, how much time do you use your cell phone per day?
